There is a lot of discussion about Better Placehttp://www.fool.com/investing/general/2012/02/25/the-1-company-to-bet-on-in-electric-cars.aspx, however I am quite sure I am already in better place right now. Most of my charge is at my home, my travel is well defined, and I am very comfortable with my Leaf. I still do not understand how their "cell phone model" battery purchase http://green.autoblog.com/2012/01/27/better-place-starts-renault-ev-deliveries-in-israel/ will be cheaper that outright buying like with the Leaf. As of "cell phone model" people are paying full price for phone upgrade with their bloated contracts, and on top of that cost of manufacturing phone is in the range of tens$ http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57382995-1/iphone-manufacturing-costs-revealed/ My position here is I do not want my old cell with new battery I want new cell phone with self healing paint in metallic green http://www.pcworld.com/article/248346/meet_nissans_selfhealing_scratch_shield_iphone_case.html. But in that case I expect paying full price for my metallic green, anyway I am anxiously awaiting battery switching centers popping in OK.
